Pure speculation but considering his past, could Shaun have gained some trust, leverage or trust with HBG becoming involved with the Mariners, somehow.

Maybe Richo was a little 'gun ho' with his approach, hopefully Shaun might be able to change things in a different way. Bloody hope so.

Yes you're right, I'm talking about developing these juniors over a number of years. Like you said you can't have too many youngsters surrounded by other youngsters. 2003-2006 period saw Skando, Buckets, Farah, Benji, Fulton, Gibbs, Halatau.... with some experienced first graders. And I think...

I think our best hope is for that the CEO, Barry and the independents to be able to persuade HBG to be more open to helping the football club in any number of ways. For example, in one of his interviews, the current CEO said that all boards are having regular dinner together now. This might not...

Yes, I understand all that and what you say is obvious and correct but what ideas do you have as a solution? I was suggesting or hoping that the CEO, Barry and the independents may be able to persuade HBG to be more open to helping the football club in any number of ways. In one of his...

Yeah but they'd have the best opportunity working so closely with HBG and I've heard the CEO is trying to bring them together so I believe that is a chance of how change could happen. And why is it thouroughly deserved? The fans certainly don't deserve the team folding. And HBG are still...

Yes the NRL could do something bu the worrying thing is they could take the licence away and give it to a Brisbane team. I think we need to show the NRL that we do love the team and will continiue to support it or they may just take it away. Change could come from the fans, Barry, the...

Shit, really, okay? Well my memory isn't what it used to be but I thought Loti played well for us a for a period. 2010 he was shit. :cool: Bad luck 2011 with injury If Loti was shit, what does that say about most Tiger players 'very very shit', 'extremely shit'? You don't mind a little...

Loti was very good

Pathways - Its clear the Bulldogs have a more far reaching and better pathways program. It costs money Key Operational Differences with Bulldogs and Wests Tigers 1. Geographic Scouting Footprint -The Bulldogs look beyond geographical constraints. Under Phil Gould's direction, recruitment...

Yes for sure. The extra 6-7 million the Dogs get can go a very long way. It seems we are some way behind! Key Structural Differences with Bulldogs and Wests Tigers 1. Football Operations & Hierarchy The Bulldogs operate with a heavy administrative buffer between the board and the locker...

I found this through AI, but I think it would be very close to the truth. Their Leagues Club, being dependent on the football club makes sense. That’s the reason why the league club exists, because of the football club Can you imagine the Canterbury Leagues Club forking over money to a failing...

How do you know the Rabbitohs aren't offering an extra 20% because they can?

Do we really know the whole story when it comes to what it’s like to be a WTs coach? Does Benji deserve some leeway when you consider he would not have the resources of the other clubs? We are talking millions of dollars worth of less support. Is it any wonder the only coach to succeed was an...

Hi Shaun, For me this is without doubt the most pressing issue at the Wests Tigers. Powerhouse clubs like the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs receive more leagues club funding than the Wests Tigers comes down to differing board control structures, severe geographical division of profits, and...

I certainly care, I try not to take anything for granted, including the Tigers. These d*ckheads running the joint don't effect me that much, the footy is the main thing, good or bad. And one day, they may not even be there.

Yes definately, however, for some reason its not in their 'charter' they have no 'legal' obligation. Why though? Is this the debenture system or is it more? AI says But other Leagues club contibute more to their football clubs. The reason powerhouse clubs like the Canterbury-Bankstown...

It won't work AI says amongst other things Ultimately, asking Macarthur Leagues to give more to the Wests Tigers is a legal and ethical impossibility. Every extra dollar given to the professional NRL team would mean stripping a dollar away from a Campbelltown charity, a local junior footy...

Thanks Has anyone asked them about running the Wests Tigers and what are the road blocks? If they said they could do it in the right way, then surely outside pressure and the fact we don't need HBG anymore could see a change.

Do they own it? Did they pay for it? If there was another entity, that being Macrathur Leagues and they had the ability to run the club in the way it should be run, then there is leverage.
